Huki-Lau, Metairie - New Orleans, LA (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

One of the very first tiki mugs I ever found "in the wild" was from the Huki-Lau (I think it's called the X eyes mug). That first find was before I had any clue that there was "a thing" about restaurants having mugs shaped like tikis, with their name on the back. I studied that mug and wondered about it and what kind of place it was from. Naturally there's been a wealth of knowledge since then, from Tiki News and the BOT and TC and so much else, but like you I don't recall seeing pics of the Huki-Lau. Anyway, fun to see, thanks. -Randy
